vision
Hoods are underinvested & resource limited
intentionally by racist and sexist systems
- oppressive systems run by people.
We understand that interpersonal relationships are
the foundation of all systems of oppression.
These relationships are also the site of
all sparks of change.
DKC envisions a world where being honest
about injustice is not seen as taboo;
where conversations and deliberate, swift action about the change we need are the norm.
A world where we listen to Hood Black people about their needs and find sustainable ways to meet them.
